Book Description
Excerpt from The Woodbridge Cook Book Knowing that nearly every housekeeper has her special and favorite cook book, the one she is used to, and can find things in, in putting on the market another and a new one, it may seem that we have joined the ranks of the carriers of coal. Our aim, however, has been to put in convenient shape a few tried recipes, written with such explicit and careful dirce tions that there will be no excuse for failures by even the most inexperienced cooks. These recipes have been selected with great care from our most competent cooks, and each one is vouched for by the contributors. They aim to cover every branch of the culinary department, and at the same time, keep within range of useful and practical recipes for the average housekeeper. While the space allowed in a work of this price is necessarily limited, still you will find a few menus, directions for setting tables and serving meals. For any detailed directions in regard to the etiquette of more elaborate meals, we refer you to any of the numerous books on etiquette or table service.
